Quicker Quaker 5k 010910
It was a grand day at the Oatmeal Festival. Sue Ann and I enjoyed a great breakfast at the festival's Oatmeal Bar (which featured about 25 different toppings). As you can see from the pre-race picture, I loaded up on fruit and nuts.
The cold weather which has blanketed our community for the past few days appears to be easing up just a bit. The walk was sunny and fun. The community of Lafayette is hospitable and gracious.

Walk in Love! New Year's Day 010110
"And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment just as you have heard it from the beginning — you must walk in it." 2 John 1:6
Happy New Year! Sue Ann and I did the Resolution 5k last night in less than 45 minutes. That's a pretty good time for a course that had some snow packed patches and dribbles and drabs of "black ice." While we were there we saw Sarah, Tina,Sylvia, Bruce and Bev. Congratulations to everyone who finished the race.
Pedometers are great little devices which enable one to keep track of one's steps.
In light of the passage from 2 John, perhaps someone could or should create a "love counter" as well. So, on this day of new beginnings, as John wrote so many years ago, "walk in love."
Peace,
